Equipment

air fryer
mixing bowl
knife
cutting board
tongs

Ingredients

1 lb sirloin steak tips (cut into 1–1.5 inch pieces)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp soy sauce (optional)
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce (optional)

Instructions

Cut the steak into even-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches, to ensure even cooking.
Place steak tips in a bowl and season with salt, pepper, garlic, and الزيت or butter. Add soy sauce or Worcestershire if using and let marinate for 15–30 minutes.
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for a few minutes to ensure proper searing.
Arrange the steak tips in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through to ensure even browning.
Remove from the air fryer and let the steak tips rest for 1 minute before serving.

Notes

For best results, cut steak evenly and avoid overcrowding the basket. Marinating for 15–30 minutes adds extra flavor, but simple seasoning works well too. Let the steak rest briefly after cooking to keep it juicy. Try variations like garlic butter, bold seasoning, or a sweet-savory glaze with soy sauce and honey.
